Thoughts? More propaganda to instill fear or another step towards our own Night of Broken Glass?

There have been demonstrations against ICE actions all the past week in downtown L.A. (mostly high school kids walking out of class) but I worry that there’s not much that can be done to resist.

Also it’s convenient that the statistic that Latino men voted in favor of Trump is now commonly touted by liberals, as if that suddenly justifies the gestapo snatching LatAm people off the street and out of their homes.

    The conspiracy theory is that Trump’s administration is “leaking” their own raid plans intentionally to cover the fact that the people being deported haven’t committed crimes.

    Step 1) Claim that undocumented migrants need to be deported because they’re dangerous criminals.

    Step 2) Offer local news agencies the opportunity to ride along with the ICE raids.

    Step 3) Wait for the local news to “leak” the raid information to the public.

    Step 4) Do the ICE raids. Over 50% of the undocumented immigrants arrested have no criminal record.

    Step 5) Say that the dangerous criminals got away because the “woke media” leaked the raid plans.

    The article mentions this happening previously. “Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, this week blamed the leak of an immigration operation in Aurora, Colo., as having reduced the number of arrests of Tren de Aragua gang members and other criminals.”
